Description:

gpsd is a userland daemon acting as a translator between GPS and AIS receivers\\ and their clients. gpsd listens on port 2947 for clients requesting\\ position/time/velocity information. The receivers are expected to generate\\ position information in a well-known format -- as NMEA-0183 sentences, SiRF\\ binary, Rockwell binary, Garmin binary format, or other vendor binary\\ protocols. gpsd takes this information from the GPS and translates it into\\ something uniform and easier to understand for clients.\\ This package contains the libgps library.\\ \\
